Ab-Soul, “Nibiru” MP3

Ab-Soul, one time Black Planet text battle (freestyle, but you type) champ, returns with another song that requires some googling to wrap your head around. Soul ponders the Mayan calendar and whether aliens built the pyramids on "Nibiru," the title of which refers to the Nibiru cataclysm, a largely-maligned theory that Earth will collide with a large planet sometime in the 21st century. For more weird, conspiracy-laced raps from Soul, Goodie Mob, Prodigy and more, check out the Spotify playlist we dedicated to Soul's recent album, Control System. Following Jay Rock's "YOLA," Soul's track is the second released as a part of Top Dawg's Fam Appreciation Week; expect goodies from Schoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar to drop this afternoon and Friday.
